How do I assemble the pole sections once I have purchased?

Fibreglass Pole Repair Instructions

Fibreglass poles are made up of a number of sections and an elasticated cord. The cord runs through each section and is simply knotted at either end.

1. Untie the knot at the end of the pole.
2. Remove the sections one at a time until you reach the section that needs to be replaced (when it is time to re-assemble the pole it is important that the sections are put back in the same order).
3. Measure the section which is to be replaced (the new section will need to be cut to length). Cut the new section to the length measured. We would recommend using a small hacksaw. Once cut, the end should be filed smooth.
4. Re-thread the cord back through the sections and tie a knot at the end.

Alloy Pole Repair Instructions

Alloy poles are made up of a number sections, and an elasticated cord and end pieces. The cord runs through each section and is simply tied to the "end piece" at either end.

1. Pull out or unscrew the "end piece" and untie the knot at the end of the pole.
2. Remove the sections one at a time (holding onto the cord) until you reach the section that needs to be replaced (when it is time to re-assemble the pole it is important that the sections are put back in the same order).
3. Measure the section which is to be replaced (the new section will need to be cut to length). Cut the new section to the length measured. We would recommend using a small hacksaw. Once cut, the end should be filed / sanded smooth.
4. Re-thread the cord back through the sections and tie a knot at the end piece, and re insert.

Pole Terminology

Pole section: Single piece of pole (either alloy, fibreglass or steel)
Pole: Comprised of a pole section, joined together by a shock cord running through the centre
Pole set: A quantity of complete poles (already made up of sections)
Shock cord: the elastic cord that all the sections are held together
Ferrules: The metal sleeve at the end of each section that the pole sections connect into

Why do poles break?

Pole breakages can happen for many reasons, mainly weather, flysheet tensioning or when pitching/striking the tent. As a precaution:

• always make sure the poles ends are fully engaged in each other
• tension the flysheet firmly but not over tight
• if your tent has a "Tension Band System" do not over tighten
• when it is windy make sure the flysheet is taught to avoid loose fabric flapping
• when the tent is used in extreme temp variances, loosen / tighten the flysheet
• always carry a spare section or two and a repair sleeve
